After spending more than 90 hours to read and listen through all routes in this visual novel, play through the arcade minigames and unlock all achievements, I decided to give a score of 10/10 and my highest recommendation on all of the following factors:

The game also has a Busterpedia which explains various Japanese terms adapted into English language, several arcade minigames which consist of 3 reaction-based/point and click action minigames and 2 minigames which have RPG mechanics and depend on luck, strategy and performance at an action minigame which award additional achievements. The common route will take approximately 10-20 hours while each character route and Refrain storyline will take approximately 4-6 hours (9 romance options altogether with Rin, Komari, Yuiko, Haruka, Kud, Mio, Kanata, Sasami and Saya). Along the way, some things will also change which add mystery, supernatural and parody elements to this visual novel. Upon completing a route and starting a new game on a subsequent playthrough, all members of the Little Busters would mysteriously start with higher attributes which would make it easier for Riki to win at Battle Rankings, Rin to complete missions and for the Little Busters to win at the baseball match. Riki will also get to know additional characters Kanata Futaki as the school's head prefect, Sasami Sasasegawa as the captain of the girl's softball team, an unnamed female dorm head, Kud's pet friends and the school's guard dogs Strelka and Belka, Rin's multiple pet cats and a giant cat Dorj.Īfter a baseball match against the captain of 9 different clubs, Riki might start on a romance route with a female member of the Little Busters or pass out from his narcolepsia. Riki will get to know several female schoolmates Komari Kamikita, Yuiko Kurugaya, Kudryavka Noumi(Kud), Mio Nishizono and Haruka Saigusa from a neighbouring class where they will take an interest in Riki's kind and helpful nature as well as the friendship and team spirit exhibited by the Little Busters' regular baseball practice and join the Little Busters on a different day each.
